In general, that's probably a pretty OK income, not amazing, but probably a bit better than average depending on where you are in the country, but far from being wealthy, you're probably not struggling, but you're not above needing to worry about money sometimes either.

And since public defenders are lawyers, that's kind of a shitty income given that they had to go through law school and such.
